Two young boys found locked in a bedroom covered in human waste are at the center of a growing criminal investigation as prosecutors request additional evidence before formally charging their parents, according to court documents released Wednesday.
Glendale police discovered the children, ages 4 and 6, confined behind a gate in a bedroom after a neighbor reported seeing a naked boy standing in an apartment window last month. Officers entering the home found deplorable conditions: human waste smeared on walls and floors, a zip-tied bathroom door, insects, and a firearm stored under a pillow.
Both parents were arrested on suspicion of child abuse and later released from custody.
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office returned the case to police days after the arrests, requesting more evidence before proceeding with charges. A spokesperson for the county attorney’s office cited concerns about prosecuting a lesser offense that could invoke double jeopardy protections and bar more serious charges later.
Alexis Dominguez spoke with County Attorney Rachel Mitchell about the case.
